Jeers: Crapo still stands by Trump
In his recent Cheers & Jeers column, Opinion Editor Marty Trillhaase of the Lewiston Tribune give JEERS to ... U.S. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho:
Look among the GOP senators who say they can't support Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
There you will find Susan Collins of Maine, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Mike Lee of Utah, Mark Kirk of Illinois and Ben Sasse of Nebraska.
But Crapo -- who is seeking a fourth term in the Senate -- still stands by Trump.
How? Ask Lewiston resident Bob Whitlock.
An Air Force veteran, Whitlock cornered Crapo last week during his swing through the Idaho State Veterans Home. Unknown to Crapo, Whitlock was recording him when he asked about Trump besmirching Sen. John McCain's status as a hero because the Arizona Republican was captured and spent five years in a North Vietnamese POW camp. More here.
